She is a vintage doll; Made of porcelain and silk ribbon She wastes her days away locked in a room Romanticizing the days where there is no sun but only rain; She is a vintage doll- She hides her lies in talc and peony- bathes in gin and thorns. Her bright smile and wide eyes now dull and sunken in… The years pass and they take their toll; She is a vintage doll; She is broken and cracked but puts on a facade- She is a liar She bleeds dead rose and wine as she covers the path of blades in tyranny; She rules love with an iron fist; her love is ice cold Her touch is a cactus that stings and pokes; A kiss that burns like dry ice and blisters like the blazing suns- She is a vintage doll; Her hair fades from deep deep brown to ice white as she becomes more and more vintage- Her skin is cracked and corrosive- caking on makeup thicker than cement..a useless attempt to hide the flaws that burst across her skin. She is a broken doll; She breathes ash and dust as she billows cigarette smoke- Callous lines wrap around her wrists as she ages away quicker and quicker Her eyes are white and ice as she stares into your soul; a taker. Hair that’s pure ice wraps around her- a spider web attached to her head; Hiding her eyes as she hides in the dark; She is a dying doll; Her porcelain skin is cracked and peeling, She cries and cries alone- salvaging the last bit of her beauty as it slips further and further away from her; Her frail hands shake as she restores her vanity- She is a dead doll; She rots away sitting in dust and decay She was a vintage doll; Bathing in vanity and greed as she glows with silver rays She was a vintage doll; Born into shining rays and sparkling lights Until She faded away.

This is a revision of an old piece I did in the 8th grade, I didn't like the way the original was written so i re-did all aspects of the poem and changed the meaning of it from a depressed girl, to a girl battling with her conceded nature and coming to terms that she is getting older very fast.
